By Telegraph—Press Association,
g Auckland, March 12. L - Tlie finding of the nautical inquiry o regarding- the wreck of tho Maitai was delivered to-day. The Court was of 0 opinion that the immediate cause of the wreck was the parting of the j cable. The parting was not due to ■] neglect or to any aot of the master or , officers. Oji tho parting of the cable' _ tho master adopted all available means j to keep the vessel off the reef. Ths j. master was justified in attempting to anchor as h© did, and if tho cable had 1 not parted, the vessel, in all probabilj ity, would have ridden safely. Nq evif dence' was lead that tho cable wag j faulty, or that an unfair or excessiv© s ! strain tad. been put on it. The mas- ■ I - waß i u ?Mfied in assuming that the t ] °hain was in good order and ample and 0 fo hold the vessel at anchor, j Tho Court recommended that a. corn--0 j ploto survey of Avarua Toadstead bs _ I'made as soon as practicable. • °L~. >-=-
